==Playing career==
 
==== San Jose Sharks= ===
Stuart was drafted in the first round, third overall, in the [[1998 NHL Entry Draft]] by the [[San Jose Sharks]]. In a game against the [[Los Angeles Kings]] on April 4, 2004, Stuart scored twice in a 17-second span, forcing the game into overtime at a 3–3 tie; Stuart's feat is the fastest that a Sharks player has scored two goals. The Sharks went on to win 4–3.
 
In November 2005, after playing with the Sharks for more than five seasons, Stuart was traded (along with [[Marco Sturm]] and [[Wayne Primeau]]) to the [[Boston Bruins]] in exchange for [[Joe Thornton]].<ref name="Thornton Trade">{{Cite web|url=http://www.sjsharks.com/news/news.asp?story_id=1927 |title=Sharks Acquire Joe Thornton |accessdateaccess-date=2007-02-11 |publisher=SanJoseSharks.com |year=2005 |archiveurlarchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061101185933/http://www.sjsharks.com/news/news.asp?story_id=1927 |archivedatearchive-date=2006-11-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
